    NOTABLE! SOURCING 
    Agreed 100%. I just thought it was ideal for startups to use paypal only at the start for 6 months just to get used to everything. I leant my lesson today, I am wrong. Thanks for this great advice Thank you I had a paragraph I was going to send, but I was like nah what's the point. Don't...

    Am I getting scammed?! Alibaba (Overseas Importing Payment Options)

    NOTABLE! SOURCING 
    I totally disagree Walter. You say you've been involved in importing since 1987, the grounds have changed since your millennium, (however I'm not saying you are wrong in everything you say, you're a great guy and I respect you for your contribution to the Fastlane Forum). Look I'm not trying...

    New Teenager Out Here

    INTRO 
    I wouldn't have that dogmatic view on schooling. Don't feel after reading the Fastlane Millionaire that you shouldn't try in school, at all. Why? I had the same ego when I was your age. I hated it. However I persisted and worked with this principle: The way you work in 1 thing is the way you...

    Am I getting scammed?! Alibaba (Overseas Importing Payment Options)

    NOTABLE! SOURCING 
    There's countless suppliers on Alibaba and millions accept PayPal as a payment option. For you, I would rule out any possible outcome of suppliers providing you with other payment methods, (if this is your first time importing). PayPal is the number setting stone if you're a startup. My advice...

    Is this quote for shipping I was given too high?

    Yes, that is an acceptable price. If you want to learn more about courier shipping costs , you can literally type "Courier Shipping" on Alibaba's search engine and it will pop up with countless Chinese couriers appointed by well known shipping companies, DHL, FedEx, etc. In turn, you can start a...

    It's great to see you're starting as early as I did. It's hard to respond to a question regarding motivation, but this could help. 1. Having someone who influences you day by day, any siblings in this area of work (entrepreneurship)? If not, we're here for you online. 2. Making yourself...

    You're incredibly right. Examining products with this effortless process is just one of many methods new startups must know about in order to find profitable products. I just care bare attending another aimless seminar, and seeing an importing coach teach you nothing but buying for the newest...

    Hey JDawg, I didn't give up importing completely, I'm just having a big break to create my importing course. I believe and have had the advice of many successful people, 1 being the author of the 10X rule "Grant Cardone" to put in as much action into one area in which you should only focus on...

    Have you had a thorough check on the number of suppliers who provide your particular product? If there's just the one then you must get it down below the MOQ. It's very possible. Also, don't send messages via email, always use real time chat (Alibaba's Trade Manager). It's much more easier to...

    Made $6,900 Importing From China and Reselling on eBay.

    SOURCING AMA 
    I would approach this by trying to reduce the bulk buy? Maybe start off with 20 units instead of 100. Unless 100 is the MOQ? If so, try and haggle with the supplier respectfully. You could inform the supplier that you will keep buying products with them in the future to add incentive for the...

    Most of the time product saturation is easy to identify in various online departments. For example, phones, clothing, or simply products you could purchase from a retail/supermarket store. However, there are some products in which you can't determine when there's too many sellers and not enough...

    First, both reliable and unreliable suppliers and manufacturers do exist. Your view on suppliers who are gold suppliers and offer Trade Assurance is factual. Marketing within Alibaba is extensive and any apprehension to "sell more" is vital and enforced by all Chinese suppliers. So yes, becoming...

    Of course Minlaker, my startup progressed rapidly. I have however stopped importing and moved to actually coaching new people "how to startup". I just find it more enjoyable and it's just something I love to do. I unfortunately started out with selling counterfeits (fake replicas) of Daniel...

    FTE SOURCING RANT 
    Very true! Here in Australia regulations aren't as strict as the EU so I guess the barrier to entry is relatively easier for me (which is bad!). But that's no excuse I can devolve on, in fact I keep away from any excuse now! (sort of a news years resolution haha) Excuses are practically a...

    Hey Benjamin I initially choose eBay over Amazon because "as a start-up importer" I felt more competent using eBay's simplistic interface design, whereas Amazon there was much more to uncover. More so I just wanted to sell a product fast and easy, and eBay was the first eCommerce website to do...
